The fifth addition to Donner-Peltier Distillery’s lineup of handcrafted, Thibodaux-made spirits is expected to hit store and bar shelves around the area by mid-November. The distiller’s third variety of rum is called Rougaroux 13 Pennies, inspired by the legend of the Rougaroux. Because the Cajun werewolf has only 12 fingers, he cannot count 13 pennies and will be distracted from entering a dwelling where the pennies are present.The flavored rum is mashed from raw Louisiana sugar cane and then naturally flavored with vanilla bean and pecan, and sweetened with local cane syrup. For early birds, the rum is already available for purchase at the distillery in Thibodaux.
